Job description
Applications are invited for a Senior Fellow (ST8 equiv) with special interest in Revision Anthroplasty Surgery. The post will run for one year from 1...
The elective commitment will be to knee surgery in general, with increased exposure to revision knee surgery, including periprosthetic fractures. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will be already capable of performing primary joint replacements with minimal supervision, and gradually increase operative responsibility in revision surgery over a period of one year. The appointee might be expected to be sharing some operating lists with more junior orthopaedic trainees & sensitivity towards their training needs & indeed participation in their training will be expected. The outpatient commitment will be to new & follow up joint replacement clinics. List & follow up clinic commitments will be coordinated with the ST from each firm. New patient clinics are organized by the fellow to run in parallel with consultant clinics.
The fellow is expected to organize, run & document the monthly knee arthroplasty MDT alongside the Clinical Specialist role. All upcoming revisions are discussed to facilitate planning. There is input from the microbiology team, so the fellow would be expected to be actively involved in all ongoing infection cases. The fellow is jointly responsible for maintaining the revision knee data base. The knee surgeons are aiming to run their MDT through the BAJIR database, so some experience with this would be desirable.
